Farmtable Chef’s Dinner Series Presented by Sugartown Strawberries, to Benefit Hives for Lives
On two upcoming fall nights, September 18 and October 2, over 80 diners will have the opportunity to wander through the rolling fields of a Chester County farm to an inviting outdoor table illuminated only by candles.
The enchanting evening, perfect for friends, couples and singles, will set the stage for an incredible affair under the stars, paired perfectly with a four-course meal from J. Scott Catering that is crafted only from area-wide farms’ products. Attendees can expect to enjoy forkfuls of delirious dishes like crispy pork belly, roasted red and gold beef salad, truffled sweet corn puree and gingered zucchini cake (and much more) — all prepared in a makeshift kitchen at Sugartown Strawberries, the presenting farm for this nighttime feast.
The farm-to-table dinner movement is flourishing throughout the rural areas of the nation, and thanks to the sustainable gang of Sugartown, Chester County has its own farm-forward outdoor dinner party where area-wide neighbors are invited to reconnect with the local land and its farmers.
The upcoming evenings will kick off with an assortment of appetizers served under a 300-year-old Oak tree where guests can socialize, see old friends and meet new ones. Then, all may enjoy a sunset hayride tour of the farm, which includes multiple educational stops along the way, before returning back to the farmtable site for the ultimate local food feast. The four-course menu is speckled with products from local favorites, like Shellbark Hollow Farm, Countrytime Farm, SIW Farms, and many others.
Proceeds for the seasonally-inspired, locally-sourced food gathering will benefit Hives for Lives, a non-profit organization dedicated to cancer research (additional donations are welcome). The organization will also contribute honey to the event for a tasting. Tickets to the event are $95 per person and go quickly, so reserve your space today by calling J. Scott Catering at 610-725-9420. The event is BYOB, but stay tuned for details on the opportunity to add a bottle of local PA wine for a small fee.
